Katherine ("Kat") thought she had the perfect marriage to
International Lawyer Steven Flynn. Until he tried to kill her.

Katherine was the perfect obedient wife. She would do anything for her
husband. That is, until she discovers he's the ring leader of a human
trafficking organization. The action is fast and furious, the dialogue smart
and the sex scenes hot. Meet Katherine in Curiosity Killed The Kat as she goes
farther and farther down the rabbit hole of political intrigue, sex, and
revenge. Will she let herself be saved by love or will curiosity and a thirst
for killer justice kill the Kat?

About the Author:

Elizabeth wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she
discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them.
Since then, her flirting skills and relationship techniques have helped
hundreds of others find their mojo. After earning a master's degree in
secondary education from UNC, she worked abroad teaching English, bar-tended at
late night clubs in Chicago, and continues various philanthropy projects that
focus on empowering women. But she always returned to writing.

Though she'll forever be a free-spirit at heart, she now lives in Los
Angeles with her two dogs. If she's not working on her latest sexy story, you
can find her reading, watching reality television, or indulging in her
unhealthy addiction to rock concerts.

Hi Elizabeth, I appreciate your
taking the time to visit with us today.

Thank you for having
me.

1.What character was your favorite to write for in
this story? Why?

This series is centered on the personality of Katherine, so without
a doubt she was the one I connected with and was my favorite to write about.
She’s naïve, rather innocent, submissive but with hidden strength and courage
she discovers inside herself when pushed a bit over the edge. She’s a woman who
has many thoughts, ultimately in due time turning those thoughts into action;
liberating herself from the confinements of her husband. There is a lot going
on with Katherine and that’s what made this story so exciting to develop and
write.

I’m a single woman in her thirties. Many of my friends are married
and I’m what you would call a hopeless romantic. Katherine was a bit like I was
when I was in college. When you’re 19 and meet the man you are going to marry,
you think you’re set for life. That was Katherine’s plan and I also thought it
was mine at one time. Part of it was because I believe this is what society
wants us to think, and so Katherine’s journey into marriage unfolded into what
she thought was expected of her. She was to be an obedient housewife who took
care of her husband. In the meantime her husband wasn’t being fair to her, and
was leaving her vulnerable. Katherine’s transformation became my
inspiration.

I truly believe women hold up half the sky. Many women don’t have
the courage to say what they truly feel or are held back by their husband or
men in their life. Time and again I have heard women complain about how their
husband is treating them or how a boyfriend wasn’t loyal. It’s not fair for us
women to sit back and accept it as if we’re second class citizens. Katherine
made this realization and she ran with it! That’s what makes Katherine such a
great character to follow during this thrilling journey she embarks on and I
encourage all women to read it.

2.Which was your favorite scene to write?

Wow. That is very
challenging for me to narrow to just one scene, however I really like adding
the romance and sex to a story. It’s very fun to let my imagination go and
really get into the fantasy.

3.What was the hardest thing about writing this
story?

This was my first
attempt at intertwining romance with suspense. It was initially very difficult
to allow my words to tell a story that was believable.

4.What would you say is your interesting writing
quirk?

Is it weird that I like
to write in only my underwear? Haha.

5.Where do you find your Inspirations?

I get lots of inspiration from other authors. When I was playing out the storyline for Curiosity Killed The Kat I drew upon great writers such as Dan
Brown and John Grisham. But I wanted to add a strong female lead twist to my
story. I wanted Katherine to find empowerment in making her own decisions and
being a strong, independent woman. But in order for her to have this so called “wakeup
call” she needed something to ignite the flame. Many of these ideas were drawn
upon by other authors work.

"A 5 star debut for sure!!! This book had ALL the
elements I love; a kick-ass detailed story, a wealthy sexy man and strong
female lead and my favorite; lots of hot, sweaty body tangling going on!
Katherine and Steven's relationship is electric. The plot intense. The dialogue
superb. Not wanting to give too much away, this was a fantastic read. The
author kept me guessing until the end of the book. Once you start reading this
book, it is very hard to put down. Ms. Nelson thank you for the
entertainment!!!"- Sophia Schippers, Amazon.com Reviewer

"You can't put this one down ! This was my first
Elizabeth Nelson book, and it was a lot of fun. It's suspenseful, action-packed
and keeps you guessing throughout the book. There's never a dull moment. This
book is one you will want to read in one sitting because you can't wait to see
what happens next. I'm really looking forward to finding out what happens with
Katherine and I can't wait to read the next in the series."-Lori S.,
Amazon.com Reviewer

"I loved this book.... It had me chewing nails , I
can't wait to read the next book ... Keep up the writing!"-Sissy,
Amazon.com Reviewer

"I found myself speed reading I was so anxious for the
outcome! Imagine your perfect life & marriage over in one stunning moment
of realism. Human trafficing; a compelling story that does not read like
fiction but keeps hold of your attention and eager for the next book in the
series."- Luvs2read, Amazon.com Reviewer

" I randomly picked this book on my wife's Kindle for a
couple of hours of relaxing reading and must say I am impressed with the story
line of this book. The book grabbed me almost immediately from the start,
always wanting me to find out more. This is really a great book that really
riveted my imagination."- Simon, Amazon.com Reviewer

"This book is fantastic, and it is a quality read. It
really looks at the deception that can happen between a man and wife. This is
an exciting book, and I think it empowers women. The wife, Kat, is someone many
people will understand. I absolutely love the last line of the book: "To
get the revenge I deserved all I had to do was live." Kat is dignity,
grace, and strength - personified."- Florence Mims, Goodreads.com Reviewer

"This was a very explosive book. I couldn't put it
down. I found it refreshing and was immediately drawn in from the beginning.
There was passion, action, suspense, and I couldn't get through the pages fast
enough. I can' t wait to find out how it ends."-Meggin, Goodreads.com

Book Review:

I have
worked in the field of social services and this book intrigued me for that
reason, as well as the fact that it is a well written and interesting
story.In this story, Kat is a
subjugated and abused wife, although she initially would not describe herself
that way.This psychological look was fascinating
as I’ve seen this same thing played out in the real world.

Additionally
the storyline is fascinating.I love the
intrigue and double life of the characters.I cannot imagine finding out something like this about someone you loved
and lived with for years.Of course I
also can’t imagine living like Kat does, but the author does such a great job
of painting a picture with her writing that I could literally see myself in Kat’s
shoes.And given strong-willed and
independent I am, that’s high praise indeed.

I give
this story 4.5 out of 5 clouds. Come back tomorrow for an interview with the author and a giveaway offer.

"The plot is very ALIAS and DARK ANGEL-like with
X-MEN as its backdrop (awesome combo!)." ~Sour Skittles Book Blog

Paranormal teens with unimaginable powers. A secret
organization with deadly intentions. When Sam, a girl who reads minds, meets
Drake, a boy who controls minds, they discover their lives aren't what they
thought.

Together, they must escape their fate and free their
friends, before they lose everyone they love.

This special edition omnibus includes the entire
Forbidden Trilogy--Forbidden Mind, Forbidden Fire and Forbidden Life, as well
as extensive bonus content. Meet the author in an in-depth Q&A, get to know
your favorite characters better, enjoy never-before-revealed interlude scenes
and so much more.

Forbidden Mind

49% of Americans believe their government officials
are honest. I don't know these officials, or their supporters, but I
know their secrets, and 49% of Americans are wrong.

My employers pay me well to be right, to know things
others can't. But I don't know why they brought that boy in, strapped to a
stretcher, barely conscious. He asked me for help when I could give none.

I'm a wealthy spy, a talented artist, a martial arts
black belt, and a prisoner. They tell me that on my eighteenth birthday, I
will be released, free to go to the college of my
dreams. It's my eighteenth birthday, and a man in black is at my
door. I know he's not here to free me.

I know, because I can read minds.

My name is Sam, and this is my story.

So begins the tale of Sam and Drake--from the
time they link minds, forging a bond that leads to an unconventional
romance--to their fight for survival against the corrupt,
twisted organization known as 'Rent-A-Kid.'

"...a thrilling, dark and deeply romantic read that
had me sitting on the edge of my seat and eagerly awaiting the next
installment." ~ Refracted Light Young Adult Book Reviews

"The plot is very ALIAS and DARK ANGEL-like with
X-MEN as its backdrop (awesome combo!). Forbidden Mind BLEW my mind!"
~Sour Skittles Book Blog

Winner of 2011 Forward National Literature Award

Forbidden Fire

"She escaped,
but she'll never be free."

"Time held no meaning as my mind darted in and out
of memories. Past and present collided to create a full-sensory collage out of
my life: playing hide-n-seek with my best friends Luke--who always cheated by
walking through walls when he was about to be caught--and Lucy; Mr. Caldrin
critiquing my sketches and offering ideas to make them more realistic; targets
changing faces, blending into the same person, their thoughts rippling through
my mind like waves. Through it all, a demon stalked me from the shadows of my
memories, never quite showing its face, but crouching, waiting.

And then I dreamed...."

Sam and Drake may have escaped, but they aren't free—not
with a powerful Seeker after them. As Sam struggles with the ethics of her new
powers and embraces a blossoming physical relationship with Drake, Lucy and
Luke face challenges of their own.

With forces coalescing inside and outside the Rent-A-Kid
dorms, it's only a matter of time before the fire they started forces each of
them to make choices they can't undo. But will it be enough to save them?

Forbidden Life

The road to redemption begins in darkness.

A sinister force waits for them in darkness, ready to
devour their powers and take their lives.

Sam's baby is the key to a lock that must never been opened.
To keep her child safe, Sam will do anything.

Drake might have found a way to get his powers back and
save his family, but is it too late?

Luke and Lucy uncover secrets in an organization they
thought they could trust, and the lives of all Rent-A-Kid children are at
stake.

In this last Forbidden Trilogy installment, the secrets to Rent-A-Kid
will finally be revealed.

OMG!!! I love this series.I don’t know where I was when these books
were being reviewed individually, but I’m so glad I read this trilogy.I totally agree with Sour Skittles about the
Alias and Dark Angel tones, and the X-men vibe.I also see some Pretender elements with the whole being sent on missions
where they can be anyone.My daughter
is totally into fan fiction and mixed story fan-fiction, especially when the
X-men are involved.This story is
totally something she would be into.

I devoured (yes the right word is
devoured) these books.I stayed up all
night reading instead of sleeping and then kept on reading instead of sewing my
Christmas presents.While totally bad
for my timeline of present making, I loved the books.

I give this entire trilogy 5 out of
5 clouds and seriously plan to make my daughter read it as soon as her finals
are over.If I let her now, she will never
get her studying done.
